[QUOTE="David, post: 89998, member: 426"] Have been meaning to ask this question for some time now ... have you had a negative experience when entering the square, or plaza, in front of Burgos cathedral? The first time I walked under the arch into the square I suddenly felt a strong feeling of dread, despair, death, painful death - it was really quite horrid. I felt that something awful had happened there, something really awful. I dove into a cafe and had a brandy! (that one in The Way, strangely enough) then left, I couldn't even go into the cathedral. I have since been back there well over a dozen times and always felt the same. I had kept this to myself - for obvious reasons, everyone seems to rave about the place! - but a little while ago I was talking over a bottle of claret (or two) to my oldest friend - we've known each other since the year 67 - and as he has done a couple of caminos I asked him what he thought about Burgos. His reaction was really strong, he felt exactly the same as me, and a mutual friend also felt the same. The second time he was there he was walking with an Australian chap. He didn't say anything about his feelings about the square and the Australian really wanted to visit the cathedral. When they got there the Australian couldn't even go in - he started looking around and saying it was blood, blood and murder and he couldn't stay there, had to get away - they legged it out of there ... so including me that is four people who have felt this awfulness in the square in front of the cathedral - I don't want to scare those who are about to go - be not afraid, nothing happens - it is just that I thought I would put this out there and see if anyone else has picked up on 'negative vibes' (man) when they arrived there :| [/QUOTE]
